- Pikachu EX V2
Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior setup. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically increasing Celebi EX's attack potential through boosted coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While highly effective, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable Dhelmise alternatives.
Key Cards: Snivy x2, Servine x2, Serperior x2, Celebi EX x2, Dhelmise x2, Erika x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2
Scolipede Koga Bounce
Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and allows for consistent Poison damage. Whirlipede and Scolipede boost Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga.
Key Cards: Venipede x2, Whirlepede x2, Scolipede x2, Koffing (Mythical Island) x2, Weezing x2, Mew EX, Koga x2, Sabrina x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2
Psychic Alakazam
Mew EX's addition significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew EX provides early defense and strong attacks, allowing for Alakazam setup. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).
Key Cards: Mew EX x2, Abra x2, Kadabra x2, Alakazam x2, Kangaskhan x2, Sabrina x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion, Budding Expeditioner
Pikachu EX V2
The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost from Dedenne, providing early offense and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's lower HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.
Key Cards: Pikachu EX x2, Zapdos EX x2, Blitzle x2, Zebstrika x2, Dedenne x2, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
